Home My WebLink AboutThe Citizen, 2011-10-06, Page 28Eighty-five secondary school students in the Avon Maitland District School Board (AMDSB) have won in the Queen Elizabeth II Aiming for the Top Scholarship program. Trustees of the AMDSB heard at their Sept. 27 meeting that the scholarships are awarded to students who have graduated at the top of their class and who plan to attend an Ontario college or university. The scholarships are worth up to $3,500 for four years in total, as long as recipients maintain an 80 per cent average at their post-secondary institutions. Trustee Randy Wagler noted that the opportunity to continue receiving the scholarship for four years “does encourage ongoing excellence.” The program is administered by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. Students will receive a congratulatory letter from Ted Doherty, director of education for the AMDSB, and recognition at their commencement ceremonies.

Several residents in Brussels received a rude awakening on Wednesday, Sept. 28 as vandals tried to paint the town red, pink and several other colours. Several buildings and eight to 10 vehicles in the area were defaced with paint, fortunately Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Officers were made aware of the situation and woke residents up before any damage to the vehicles could become permanent. The buildings were another story entirely. As of Thursday afternoon paint, or the last stubborn remnants of what couldn’t be scrubbed off, could still be seen throughout town including at the car wash on King Street and the Brussels Public Swimming Pool. A main street structure even had a hateful phrase written on its side. While the OPP have no suspects in custody, and have no identifying factors to identify the vandals, the hunt is on for the culprits according to Constable Leanne Wilhelm, media relations officer for the Huron OPP Detachment. She said that Brussels is now being patrolled late at night to prevent this kind of vandalism from happening again, and stated that, over the weekend the OPP had found evidence that may be linked to the events of Sept. 28. Any one with information should call the Huron County OPP at 1- 888-310-1122. And eat it too Three-year-old Elizabeth Howson enjoyed some chocolate cake at Saturday night’s supper at Trinity Anglican Church after dozens enjoyed a roast beef supper hosted by the church.
